I received this as a gift for graduation. I love it. I got really bad razor burn with a standard cartridge razor, razor burn is all but gone with this. The razor is well-made, featuring a hefty, reassuring weight in the hand. The plating on the razor is well-done, and the stainless part of the handle is finely brushed, making for a handsome razor. This razor performs as well as it looks, too. The curved head above where the blade sits gives you a perfect angle to achieve a good shave. If you purchase this razor, you will not be disappointed.
Excellent,

After years of shaving with a multi-blade, and eventually finding it difficult to find cartridges for my Gillette Sensor, I decided to go "old-school" and shave like my grandfather... so, I took it one step further and went straight-blade. I did pretty well and only cut myself a few times, though they bled pretty good. I went with a Parker SR1 with disposable blades since I didn't want to face the hassle of honing and stropping.
At the same time, my sweet bride decided she would also like to change over to the single blade, so I bought her an Edwin Jagger DE 89lbl Safety Razor. She raved about it from the beginning and still loves it.
After a year, I got tired of the time commitment to shaving with a straight razor, so I broke down and tried my wife's DE Safety. It did great! Much better than I anticipated. Close shave, not a nick. I immediately began my search for my own, and after a few days research, decided on this quality instrument.

I'll keep this short and sweet - the Merkur 43c was my first DE razor. I've purchased others since (including the Merkur Futur) but I still reach for the 43c on a regular basis. It's a very non-aggressive shaving razor - an excellent model to use while building your skill and developing your technique. The weight of the razor is awesome, but I really wish the head were stainless and not just the handle. Buy this razor, you won't regret it.
